Pass It On: Camo Pants

Picking out shoes has always been one of the most time consuming parts of getting dressed for me. I decided to wear my camo pants again for Take One, Pass It On, but I couldn't figure out what shoe to wear. I searched on Google and Pinterest to get ideas and found that 99.9% of the women wearing camo pants were wearing high heels. I definitely plan to try that pairing in the spring, but what is the best pairing for winter weather?

I went to campus in booties, but brought my flats just in case I wanted to change into them there (which I ended up doing). I considered wearing (tall) boots, but something just felt off. What do you think? Should I have been part of the 99.9% and just worn a nude heel? Which shoe would you wear bearing in mind that there are hills of snow everywhere around me?

Also, the lecture hall I have to go to requires taking many many stairs. Will the amount of stairs you encounter (or the walking you do in general) play into what shoe you end up wearing for the day?

I think the flats are my favorite, only because I personally don't like booties, and I think the boots compete with the pants. But...I also know what mountains of snow are like so I think in this situation you just gotta do what you gotta do :)

Ugh I hate when things are meant to look good with heels but since I don't wear heels (pumps specifically, I love how they look but do not own any that are comfortable enough for work) I have to make do with less stylish shoewear substitutes. Like pencil skirts and ankle pants look "right" with pumps but awful with flats (doesn't mean I don't try).

The boots and flats look fine to me, but if it were me, I'd maybe try brown oxfords? Or just save them for warmer weather :)

I know exactly what you mean. I hardly ever wear heels (I own 2 pairs!) so I never really consider them for work. I walk around too much to even consider wearing them. I have three pairs of tall riding boots (black, gray and brown) and I pretty much wear them all winter. Really, that's all I wear. It definitely limits my clothing options, but I would rather have comfy feet!

Winter is sort of ruining my shoe options, too! I am so tired of wearing boots all the time, but it is way too cold and snowy/slushy out to wear anything else most days. I actually think the tall boots are my favorite of the options you have listed. Hopefully it will be spring soon!!
